Are you wondering whether your loved one's dementia diagnosis necessitates a move to an assisted living facility? Although seniors who have been diagnosed with dementia often require advanced care, this does not mean they can't continue living in their own homes. In fact, at-home dementia care is a form of care developed specifically for seniors in this situation. When you choose Visiting Angels^® Columbia to meet your loved one's care needs, you can make sure they have high-quality assistance as they face the challenging symptoms and various stages of a memory disorder.

Our at-home dementia care services can also benefit unpaid family caregivers. If you've been offering your loved one a helping hand with their daily routines and have noticed their needs are starting to increase, you may worry you will be unable to offer the level of care they will eventually need. Our care professionals can take over your duties to give you temporary periods of respite and relief. They can also step in on a full-time basis so you can focus on making cherished memories with your loved one.

About Our Dementia Care Services at Visiting Angels Columbia

We frequently receive inquiries asking whether Alzheimer's care and dementia care are one and the same. Although these conditions share many symptoms in common, their progression can differ significantly. That's why we believe it is so important to differentiate the care we offer. We also go beyond offering different care types by creating customized service plans for all of our care recipients. As a result, your loved one will receive a comprehensive care plan tailored to their current struggles and symptoms, as well as their preferences and day-to-day routines.

Whenever your loved one's needs and daily habits evolve, we will be sure to modify their care plan to reflect their new normal. In this way, we are able to deliver care that changes along with seniors, giving them full confidence they will be supported throughout their aging journey.

Personalized care plans can be developed to address the specific symptoms and stages of many memory disorders and dementia types. For example, we are able to assist those who have been diagnosed with:

• Huntington's disease
• Down syndrome
• Young-onset dementia
• Vascular dementia
• Mixed dementia
• Lewy bodies dementia
• Parkinson's disease dementia
• Alzheimer's disease
• Frontotemporal dementia
• Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease
